Ruff Kutt Blues
Band
That's When The Blues
Begins
Deep
Texas Blues featuring Zac Harmon, Finis Tasby,
and Anson Funderburgh. Texan James Goode
describes himself as an “old rascal and beat-up coach”, but this Rockabilly
Hall-Of-Fame inductee, songwriter, bass player, and creator of the RUFF
KUTT BLUES BAND certainly knows how to field one hell of a Blues team.
This all-star aggregation hits a deep Blues groove and delivers Goode’s songs
